E46: Young Developers Lost 20% of Jobs to AI | Stanford's 25 Million Paycheck Study Reveals Truth

Stanford just analyzed 25 million American paychecks and found something terrifying: 20% fewer jobs for young software developers since ChatGPT launched, while 35+ year olds are thriving. The AI revolution is eating its own children. Episode 48: The data that changes everything.

Breaking down:

• The Stanford Bombshell: "Canaries in the Coal Mine" study | 25 million ADP payroll records | Real paychecks, not surveys | 57 pages of hard data from August 2025
• The November 2022 Cliff: ChatGPT launches = immediate 13% job decline for 22-25 year olds | Software developers -20% | Customer service -15% | But healthcare +12% | Perfect graphs showing the exact moment everything changed
• Automation vs Augmentation: Job losses ONLY in automation roles | Claude data from millions of conversations | "Write my code" = job gone | "Let's think together" = job safe | The difference that determines survival
• Codified vs Tacit Knowledge: AI ate all the textbooks | Experience can't be downloaded | Why 45-year-olds with AI replace 3 juniors | The broken career ladder - first 3 rungs gone | Universities teaching dead knowledge
• The Wage Stickiness Paradox: Salaries stay the same | Young people don't get paid less - they get NO job | Companies more productive with fewer people | One senior + AI = three junior salaries saved
• Europe's 6-Month Warning: US today = EU in Q2 2026 | 99% of job descriptions still list "Microsoft Office" | While you debate GDPR, AI is replacing departments | The geographic time bomb ticking

The 3-Step Survival Guide: Audit every job description TODAY | Forget degrees - test AI skills | Choose augmentation over automation | Give candidates impossible problems + AI + 48 hours

The brutal truth: Your computer science degree is worth less than 6 months of ChatGPT experience. This isn't the future - it's happening right now, in the data.
